when the government makes decisions that negatively affect a household's income, why shouldnt they help relieve the burden in other areas such as food stamps or health care?

Perhaps this isn't about rights, or wants, of individuals.

I'm actually embarrassed to be a woman in this country because so many of you are liberals.

Why should illegal aliens (as in those without a SSN) be afforded the right of a diver's license in any state?

RealID has been opposed by conservatives and liberals alike as an attempt to establish a national ID card. A reasonably comprehensive history of RealID can be found on Wikipedia. Check out this site:

Social Security numbers are linked to personal financial information, which IMHO should remain PRIVATE from all government agencies except for those directly involved in taxation and social security. I've already had to cancel a credit card because the number was stolen. With my social security number now in a database which is linked into a national system, identity theft on a larger scale becomes a concern. And loss of privacy.

The "illegal immigration" argument is a red herring. Social security cards are easy to forge. If we're really interested in stopping illegal immigrants from getting driver's licenses, we should have verifiable birth certificates and other proofs of citizenship.

BTW, denying licenses to illegal immigrants doesn't stop them from driving. It just means that when one of them, unlicensed and uninsured, runs into you, you have no legal recourse.

Uhm, I had to provide my birth certificate and my SS card to obtain my first driver's license.

I agree. My husband is military and his ss# is used for EVERYTHING. My military id has both my ss# and my husband's listed on it so it's a real concern when I have to carry it with me. Just going to the commissary on base requires me to show the card to at least 3 people who really have no business seeing our ss#'s. Not to mention the fact that DH has received at least 2 letters in the past year or two stating that his information may have been stolen from a military database. This is the freakin' military we're talking about - these things should not be happening! The military really needs to get with the times and stop using ss#'s as id numbers.

Isn't that the point in asking for the number, to insure a state issued form of ID is being given to citizens of the state and country they reside in?
